Taking a Break

Home » Photos » Taking a Break
October 2, 2018 by Mary Hamilton

Is it age or…?

The older I get, the slower my brain seems to work. I wish I could rattle off two and three stories a year like other writers. Apparently, I have it backwards, cranking out one story every two to three years. My brain just doesn’t have the RPM’s. In fact, I find it difficult to concentrate on much else when I’m writing my novel’s first draft.

Focus

For this reason, I’ll be taking a break from writing this blog. Instead, I’ll post some of the pictures I take, since that’s my other hobby. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, I should have my novel finished in…well, sooner than 80 weeks, I hope. I’ll check in occasionally with a progress report, but you might consider signing up for my monthly newsletter. My newsletter subscribers get all the inside news first, along with some other fun stuff. (If you’re on your phone, you’ll need to click on this post so you navigate to my website, then scroll down to the very bottom and you should see a newsletter sign-up box. If you’re on your computer, the box should be to the upper right of this post.)

Your Mission

If you think of it, say a prayer now and then for inspiration and divine guidance as I try to put this story into words. I’d appreciate it. For now, enjoy the view.
